Junichi Suzuki 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2011 The Japanese airlines, Skynet Asia Airways will change their company name and logos from 1st July 2011. They will receive the first brand-new B737-800 soon, and it will be painted into new c/s New airlines name is Soraseed Air It's simpler than present c/s, but which c/s do you like?

Junichi Suzuki 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Thank you for comment Brand new c/s of SNA is not so popular Another spotters said this new c/s is similar to Jeju Air or Air Baltic I agree with Pieter C san because I also like current c/s P.S.

Cornelis Boersma 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2011 My opinion ; they better have invested the money for ugly design in a new Santa livery on A330 for upcomming X-mas season! I am happy AY still have most Busses painted in OC so in AMS I still see "my good old" Finnair! Back to topic: Good catch of An-124 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Suzuki-san, Nothing to be ashamed about - airline industry is very big and now the LCC segment in Japan will grow too. So, we have more variety and more travellers using them - very good for civil aviation in Japan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymund Yeoh 1 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Some news on Peach LCC Japan’s first budget carrier named ‘Peach’ May 25, 2011TOKYO, May 25 — Japan’s first budget carrier said yesterday it would operate under the name Peach, and pledged to deliver the sophistication of “Cool Japan.” A&F Aviation, set up by All Nippon Airways (ANA) with Hong Kong and Japanese investment funds in February, changed its corporate name to “Peach Aviation” to symbolise longevity, energy and happiness — as peaches do in Japan, it said. “The name Peach was chosen to reflect our mission of becoming a completely new type of airline that links destinations in Japan and Japan with Asia,” Peach Aviation chief executive Shinichi Inoue said in a statement. “Our airline will also reflect the smart sophistication that has come to represent the words ‘Cool Japan’,” he said. Cabin crew will wear casual-look uniforms comprising plain shirts and trousers. The company also unveiled its aircraft design, showing an Airbus 320 in white, pink and fuchsia. Anticipating booming Asian travel demand, the company was set up to be Japan’s main low-cost carrier operating both international and domestic routes. It aims to begin domestic services out of Kansai International Airport in the western Japanese city of Osaka in March 2012. Service between Kansai and Incheon airport in Seoul will commence no later than May 2012, the airline said. The new company is 66.7 per cent owned by Japanese investors, with ANA holding a 33.4 per cent stake. Hong Kong-based private equity firm First Eastern Investment holds the remaining 33.3 per cent stake, the maximum foreign ownership currently allowed in Japan. Japan’s air travel market is known for its high fares. Cheaper domestic carriers such as Skymark and Air Do have been unable to offer the kind of heavily discounted fares associated with budget airlines in the United States and Europe due to higher operating costs. ANA has said that the new carrier would offer tickets at half current fare levels. The company has said it would cut costs by requiring customers to pay for all in-flight services and operate only with e-tickets. — AFP/Relaxnews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
